My remarks are in connection with this thread and a couple of others):

In response to my contention that people in 'safety sensitive' professions must be willing to forego their right to medical privacy, I was accused of:

1) Equating mental illness with violence;

2) Implying that all mental health sufferers are
potential murderers.

Here's what I wote about medical privacy in one of those threads:

'Where high-speed, instantaneous decisions are called for, the need (for mandatory disclosure) is greater. The higher the speed, the more people's lives directly at risk, the greater the need.

That said, yes, commercial trucking companies, high-risk public works concerns, etc. should be able to access the psych and physical health status of their employees.

Nowhere have I argued in favor of universal mandatory health disclosure or suppression of health privacy.
